Now I always check my coins with a magnet, this video shows how simple it is to check.

Test with a magnet is ok, but I would NEVER tap a coin directly!

Very true, I bought this a few months ago, as a copy so didn't pay much, but I've seen them being sold as genuine in the past, this isn't magnetic, is the correct size and weight (give or take a fraction of a gram), and it certainly isn't silver.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
